Hmm. This might get boring if it's one-sided. I suppose I should take the converse position, then:

You, sir, are a scrub, a filthy casual, incapable of winning tournaments and so pant-shittingly terrified of what they entail. Your dismissiveness is a ploy to hide your shame. Your list is garbage, your painting puerile, and you failed to trim mold lines.

>>10632433You are a cookie-cutter tourneyfag, unable to think outside of premade army lists and paint schemes. You have an infantile obsession with winning, matched only by your hypercompetitive nature.If the tourney required you to shit your pants in front of everybody, you would do it just to 'win'. Dignity is secondary to the almighty ego.

>>10632567Hah, as if your 'scene' is anything but a 'best' army circlejerk for a full day. You faggots ban every last bit of fun for no reason!You would backstab the most bro of all bros just to win.You sir, are a blight.

You wouldn't know what I play, because your utter terror at the thought of being exposed as a scrub keeps you well away from the GW store when it's tourney time. Your ilk will only come slinking in on a Thursday during lunch hour, pestering me and mine with your "SUUPA SPESHUL PRE-HERESY LEGION FROM A MISSING PRIMARCH" or "TAU THAT ADAPTED AN STC, SO THEY HAVE HOVER-LAND RAIDERS". Your reek offends the nostrils, your voice the ears, and your armies the very game itself.

>>10632716You claim to represent the game? You represent WH40k the same way Al'Qaeda represents Islam as a whole.At least I am willing to create something NEW, you and your ilk are stagnation incarnate. Every time, the same armies, the same tactics, the same positioning. All because someone called it 'ideal'.And I avoid tourneys because people like you, who insult me for having a non-optimized everything forever. I just want to play, to try newer, and more interesting things. You tourneyfags are the cancer that is killing WH40k.

Admit it: you're a hobbyist. You're not a wargamer. You don't play the game, you don't enjoy the game, you just like painting your little dolls. You keep them as a stand-in for the manhood you'll never attain.

I had played one game, and it went fairly well. I was joking, rolling dice, but the other guy just seemed totally focused on winning. Overall, though, the game went smoothly.

The second game - well, when it got to the point where he physically picked up my land raider and tossed it at me - well, that was where I calmly picked up the rest of my models, and without saying a word to him or the tournament organizers, got in my car and left.

Okay, new universal rule: handling of the opponent's models without his permission? Instant DQ, zero appeals. If the opponent refuses to move or remove a model, the judge can do it. And it'll stop that bullshit once and for all.

eh, can't say much other than you encountered a real asshole, but I don't really see why that's exclusive to a tournament scene. you do have to keep in mind though that not everyone gets their jollies just out of playing, but winning as well when discussing these things.

That's some total bullshit right there, fucking with your model like that.

I really don't get people that get all serious about this shit. I've seen them at conventions of all kinds taking themselves just way too seriously, and I can't help but to wonder why the fuck they're even there if they're not really having fun.

That's the real problem with tourneys, as I see them: nerdery already brings out some of the people who are least capable of proper social interaction. Now compound this with a competitive setting. You're BOUND to get assholes who have no business whatsoever leaving their basement without mommy chaperoning.

I've not played 40k competitively, but I have played in many a M:tG tourney. At the end of the game, no matter how frustrating the deck, no matter how hard he's stomping your ass, you maintain professionalism during play, you say "good game" and shake his hand at the end of the match, and you move along.

We usually end up playing a 3v3 game deployment and game mode thru dice rolls.

Whats really fucking annoying though is the fucking tau guys have like a leadership of 2.

The moment any unit bigger than an infantry model or a squad gets wiped out, they litteraly scream DUDE WE'RE FUCKED, THERES NO WAY WE CAN COUNTER THAT, NOPE, IM DONE NOPE. He fucking said that about swooping fucking hawks.

And Im always on these guys team, they whine about how their tank shouldn't have been blown up, or how infinately cheap a unit is.

Another time was with the doom of malantei first being introduced to them, they literally started packing their units and said they were leaving on turn 2, TURN FUCKING 2.

And you know what happened?The doom came in, killed 3 of my guardsman and 4 of his firewarriors, then i blew that shit up with a fucking meltagun.

God anybody else play with Baby bitchalot? or have experience with them?

I'm not saying how others behave, I'm saying how YOU behave. Man up, act like you've got a pair, and have some professionalism. People will respect you for it. Sure, the butthurt hypercompetitive aspie fucktards will still pitch snits, name-call, rate you 0 on sportsmanship (don't get me started on opponent judging in tourneys), and do all the little things that make them even bigger pathetic losers than the people that gather to play wargames competitively in the first place. That doesn't mean you stoop to their level.
